エレミヤ書 25
1 ユダの王ヨシヤの子ヱホヤキムの四年バビロンの王ネブカデネザルの元年にユダのすべての民にかかはる言ヱレミヤにのぞめり
This is the word that came to Jeremiah about all the people of Judah. It came in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah. That was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon.
2 預言者ヱレミヤこの言をユダのすべての民とヱルサレムにすめるすべての者に告ていひけるは
Jeremiah the prophet proclaimed this to all the people of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
3 ユダの王アモンの子ヨシヤの十三年より今日にいたるまで二十三年のあひだヱホバの言我にのぞめり我これを汝等に告げ頻にこれを語りしかども汝らきかざりし
He said, “For twenty-three years, from the thirteenth year of Josiah son of Amon, king of Judah until this day, Yahweh's words have been coming to me and I have spoken to you again and again, but you have not listened.
4 ヱホバその僕なる預言者を汝らに遣し頻に遣したまひけれども汝らはきかず又きかんとて耳を傾けざりき
Yahweh sent out all his servants the prophets to you again and again, but you have not listened or paid any attention.
5 彼らいへり汝等おのおのいま其惡き途とその惡き行を棄よ然ばヱホバが汝らと汝らの先祖に與へたまひし地に永遠より永遠にいたるまで住ことをえん
These prophets said, 'Let each man turn from his wicked way and the corruption of his practices and return to the land that Yahweh gave in ancient times to your ancestors and to you, as a permanent gift.
6 汝ら他の神に從ひこれに事へこれを拜み汝らの手にて作りし物をもて我を怒らする勿れ然ば我汝らを害はじ
So do not walk after other gods to worship them or bow down to them, and do not provoke him with the work of your hands so that he does you harm.'
7 然ど汝らは我にきかず汝等の手にて作りし物をもて我を怒らせて自ら害へりとヱホバいひたまふ
But you have not listened to me—this is Yahweh's declaration—so you have provoked me with the work of your hands to do harm to you.
8 この故に萬軍のヱホバかく云たまふ汝ら我言を聽ざれば
So Yahweh of hosts says this, 'Because you did not listen to my words,
9 視よ我北の諸の族と我僕なるバビロンの王ネブカデネザルを招きよせ此地とその民と其四圍の諸國を攻滅さしめて之を詫異物となし人の嗤笑となし永遠の荒地となさんとヱホバいひたまふ
see, I am about to send out a command to gather all the peoples of the north—this is Yahweh's declaration—with Nebuchadnezzar my servant, king of Babylon, and bring them against this land and its inhabitants, and against all the nations around you. For I will set them apart for destruction. I will turn them into a horror, an object for hissing, and an unending desolation.
10 またわれ欣喜の聲 歡樂の聲 新夫の聲 新婦の聲 磐磨の音および燈の光を彼らの中にたえしめん
I will put an end to the sound of joy and sound of gladness, the sound of the groom and the sound of the bride, the sound of the millstones and the light of the lamp.
11 この地はみな空曠となり詫異物とならん又その諸國は七十年の間バビロンの王につかふべし
Then all of this land will become a desolation and a horror, and these nations will serve the king of Babylon for seventy years.
12 ヱホバいひたまふ七十年のをはりし後我バビロンの王と其民とカルデヤの地をその罪のために罰し永遠の空曠となさん
Then it will happen when seventy years have been completed, that I will punish the king of Babylon and that nation, the land of the Chaldeans—this is Yahweh's declaration—for their iniquity and make it an unending desolation.
13 我かの地につきて我かたりし諸の言をその上に臨しめん是ヱレミヤが萬國の事につきて預言したる者にて皆この書に錄さるるなり
Then I will carry out against that land all the words that I had spoken, and everything written in this book that Jeremiah has prophesied against all the nations.
14 多の國々と大なる王等は彼らをして己につかへしめん我かれらの行爲とその手の所作に循ひてこれに報いん
For also many other nations and great kings will make slaves out of these nations. I will repay them for their deeds and the works of their hands.'”
15 イスラエルの神ヱホバかく我に云たまへり我手より此怒の杯をうけて我汝を遣はすところの國々の民に飮しめよ
For Yahweh, God of Israel, said this to me, “Take this cup of the wine of fury from my hand and make all the nations to which I am sending you drink it.
16 彼らは飮てよろめき狂はんこは我かれらの中に劍をつかはすによりてなり
For they will drink and then stagger about and rant madly before the sword that I am sending out among them.”
17 是に於てわれヱホバの手より杯をうけヱホバのわれを遣したまふところの國々の民に飮しめたり
So I took the cup from Yahweh's hand, and I made all the nations to which Yahweh had sent me drink it:
18 即ちヱルサレムとユダの諸の邑とその王等およびその牧伯等に飮せてこれをほろぼし詫異物となし人の嗤笑となし詛るる者となせり今日のごとし
Jerusalem, the cities of Judah and her kings and officials—to turn them into ruins and something terrifying, and into an object for hissing and cursing, as they are at this present day.
19 またエジプトの王パロと其臣僕その牧伯等その諸の民と
Other nations also had to drink it: Pharaoh king of Egypt and his servants; his officials and all his people;
20 諸の雜種の民およびウズの諸の王等およびペリシテ人の地の諸の王等アシケロン、ガザ、エクロン、アシドドの遺餘の者
all people of mixed heritage and all the kings of the land of Uz; all the kings of the land of Philistia—Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod;
21 エドム、モアブ、アンモンの子孫
Edom and Moab and the people of Ammon.
22 ツロのすべての王等シドンのすべての王等海のかなたの島々の王等
The kings of Tyre and Sidon, the kings of the coasts on the other side of the sea,
23 デダン、テマ、ブズおよびすべて鬚をそる者
Dedan, Tema, and Buz with all the ones who cut the hair on the sides of their heads, they also had to drink it.
24 アラビヤのすべての王等曠野の雜種の民の諸の王等
All the kings of Arabia and all the kings of people of mixed heritage who live in the wilderness;
25 ジムリの諸の王等エラムの諸の王等メデアのすべての王等
all the kings of Zimri, all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes;
26 北のすべての王等その彼と此とにおいて或は遠者或は近きもの凡地の面にある世の國々の王等はこの杯を飮んセシヤク王はこれらの後に飮べし
all the kings of the north, the ones close by and the ones far away—everyone with his brother and all the kingdoms of the world that are on the surface of the earth, all of them had to drink the cup from Yahweh's hand. Finally, the king of Babylon will also drink from that cup.
27 故に汝かれらに語ていへ萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいひたまふ我汝等の中に劍を遣すによりて汝らは飮みまた醉ひまた吐き又仆て再び起ざれと
Yahweh said to me, “Now you must say to them, 'Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this: Drink and become drunk, then vomit, fall down, and do not rise before the sword that I am sending among you.'
28 彼等もし汝の手より此杯を受て飮ずば汝彼らにいへ萬軍のヱホバかくいひたまふ汝ら必ず飮べし
Then it will happen that if they refuse to take the cup from your hand to drink, you will say to them, 'Yahweh of hosts says this: You must certainly drink it.
29 視よわれ我名をもて稱へらるるこの邑にすら災を降すなり汝らいかで罰を免るることをえんや汝らは罰を免れじ蓋われ劍をよびて地に住るすべての者を攻べければなりと萬軍のヱホバいひたまふ
For see, I am about to bring disaster on the city that is called by my name, and should you yourselves be free from punishment? You will not be free, for I am calling a sword against all the inhabitants of the land!—this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts.'
30 汝彼等にこの諸の言を預言していふべしヱホバ高き所より呼號り其聖宮より聲を出し己の住家に向てよばはり地に住る諸の者にむかひて葡萄を踐む者のごとく咷たまはん
You must prophesy all these words against them, and say to them, 'Yahweh will roar from the heights and he will shout with his voice from his holy dwelling, and he will roar mightily against his fold; and he will shout, like those who tread the grapes against all those who live on the earth.
31 號咷地の極まで聞ゆ蓋ヱホバ列國と爭ひ萬民を審き惡人を劍に付せば也とヱホバ曰たまへり
The sound of battle will resound to the ends of the earth, for Yahweh brings charges against the nations, and he brings judgment on all flesh, and the wicked ones he will put to the sword—this is Yahweh's declaration.'
32 萬軍のヱホバかく曰たまふ視よ災いでて國より國にいたらん大なる暴風地の極よりおこるべし
Yahweh of hosts says this, 'See, disaster is going out from nation to nation, and a great storm is beginning from the farthest parts of the earth.
33 其日ヱホバの戮したまふ者は地の此極より地の彼の極に及ばん彼等は哀まれず殮められず葬られずして地の面に糞土とならん
Then those killed by Yahweh will on that day extend from one end of the earth to the other; they will not be mourned, gathered, or buried. They will be like dung on the ground.
34 牧者よ哭き叫べ群の長等よ汝ら灰の中に轉ぶべし蓋汝らの屠らるる日滿れば也我汝らを散すべければ汝らは貴き器のごとく堕べし
Wail, shepherds, and shout for help! Roll about in the dust, you leaders of the flock, for the days of your slaughter have come; you will be scattered when you fall like fine pottery.
35 牧者は避場なく群の長等は逃る處なし
There is no refuge for the shepherds, there will be no escape for the leaders of the flock.
36 牧者の呼號の聲と群の長等の哀哭きこゆ蓋ヱホバ其牧場を滅したまへば也
Hear the cries of the shepherds and the wails of the leaders of the flock, for Yahweh is destroying their pastures.
37 ヱホバの烈き怒によりて平安なる牧場は滅さる
So the peaceful pastures will be devastated because of Yahweh's fierce anger.
38 彼は獅子の如く其巢を出たり滅す者の怒と其烈き忿によりて彼らの地は荒されたり
Like a young lion, he has left his den, for their land will become a horror because of the oppressor's anger, because of his angry wrath.'”
